‘She tried to actually mother me.’ He Made His Dad’s Much Younger Fiancée Cry After She Treated Him With Disrespect. Is He a Jerk?

Yikes…

Any time you make someone cry, it usually leads to guilt and a long, hard look in the mirror…

And it’s even worse when you do it to someone who is close to your family, like your dad’s fiancée, for example…

So is this teenager acting like an a**hole?

Get the whole story below and see what you think.

“My father (54m) and his fiancé (30f) have been together for about 6 years now. When they first got together, I (17m at the time) was still living at home.

She moved in about a month into their relationship, and I didn’t have a problem with her at first, until she tried to actually mother me. I’m not talking about giving advice or being a supportive role model, more like giving me a 9:00 curfew (I live in a rural town so that’s a joke) and cleaning up after HER dog has an accident. Everytime I’d bring it up to my dad, he’d say “Just try, for me.” Needless to say, I moved out soon after.

Fast forward to a week ago. My dad invites me over for dinner, out of nowhere, as we haven’t spoken in quite some time. I hesitantly accept, and spend the following few days trying to prepare myself for what they’re going to say. I show up that night, bottle of wine in hand, anxious out of my mind.

The night goes on for a few hours, us exchanging small talk, until I can’t take it anymore and ask why they invited me. My dad said that they were getting married and wanted me to be his best man. I’m not going to lie, I laughed. Hard. This turned into the fiancé crying because she thinks that I don’t like her, and I told her she was correct.

It should also be said that given the option between me or his fiancé, my dad would choose her in a heartbeat. For example, I went on a two-day camping trip. I had a spot in the garage for my car when I left, she had it when I got back until I moved out. And I really only care about that because hail damage.”
